Christmas Carols

Well, Halloween is over...the clocks have been turned back...the days are getting shorter...


That only means one thing to me! I can start thinking about decorating for the Holidays! I hope you enjoy the selection of Christmas carols that I chose for you to listen to while browsing my blog! Be sure to open another window to browse around the web so that you can continue to listen to my Christmas songs in the background! I love the old classics! You know; Bing, Perry Como, Burl Ives, Johnny Mathis, Robert Goulet, Mitch Miller, Dean Martin, and my all time favorite The Carpenters! The new songs are good, but nothing reminds me more of Christmas that the ones from the 60's & 70's! I guess it is because I grew up listening to the Good Year Christmas Albums!! Remember those? We always got them at the Good Year Tire Store every year! I think one of the last ones to come out, my parents for me for doing good on my report card! I can still see the cover now! It was white and Burl Ives sang on it! I remember getting out all the albums my parents had and putting the record player under or near the live Christmas tree! I could not wait to get the Christmas Albums out! I can remember the albums had pictures of all the singers on the back covers! I loved the version of Sleigh Ride by Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme! I would lay near the Christmas tree looking up into all those beautiful lights, smelling the pine and imagining that I was on that sleigh ride with them! And what would Christmas be without The Carpenters singing in the background? There are so many voices that I associate with Christmas music!

So, please, enjoy the sounds of Christmas!
